@@FlippingPhysics I'm dealing with a problem in real life. So, it seems that the closer you get to the rotational axis, the more you are trying to impart translational motion. Say, if you are pushing on a very flimsy door right next to hinge, it is likely to fall down, but if you pushed on opposite side near the knob, it would easily rotate. Is there video on this?
I just want to say that as I serve a missionary physics teacher with minimal resources, all of your videos are lifesavers in explaining concepts to my high school students!
Wow. Please tell me more about this. My father was a medical missionary. He performed eye surgeries and taught local doctors how to do the surgeries. When I was 11 my whole family joined him in Cameroon for a month on mission. I wish I could duplicate what he did, however, that is not where my skill set is. Instead I create these videos in hopes that I can help people learn who would otherwise be unable to do so. If you do not feel comfortable telling me more in a TH-cam comment, feel free to email me: flippingphysics@gmail.com
Any chance you could help me out by doing what I ask people to do in the following video? bit.ly/2y4tOCA It would be a great way to show your appreciation!
You did what the entirety of my university's Physics department (head TAs, prerecorded lecture videos, live lecturing from my Professor, TAs from Office Hours/Discussion, textbook written by department) could not: make me understand torque, and in 10 minutes. I feel like all of the equations thrown at me didn't make sense until you covered them the way you did so THANK YOU.
So much better than my university class on this relatively simple subject, I loved how definitions were first shown and clear, my class relies way too much much on intuitions giving little explanations/references back to what the definition of the damn thing actually is. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this, since we started online learning my teachers have just wanted us to read the textbook but I'm one of those people that have to listen along and see what's happening to understand things and this has just saved my butt. It's really nice for you to teach us all and for free!
This is awesome! I love that you're essentially having Kerbals in class. It's exactly the sort of associations I need to have a hope to retain at least a fraction of this. So well explained too. I'll be checking more of this out.
We're starting rotational motion and i hope to gods this unit doesnt chew me up and spit me out. Your videos helped with the momentum unit so hopefully i can understand rotational motion :')
My Ap physics c exam is in few months and I am having bad time with physics but your videos are helping me by taking some weight from my shoulders . Many thanks to you!
This is an amazingly well put together and cogent description of torque. Thank you for this. I am pointing my students toward it as supplement to their classroom instruction.
Outstanding lecture; very helpful. I was wondering why is the convention to express torque = (rsinx)F where x is the angle, and NOT torque = r(Fsinx). I find it much easier to think about the perpendicular component of the applied FORCE as being the force used to create torque, rather than considering the perpendicular component of the r vector. Is there something wrong with this viewpoint? Are there examples when this just wouldn't work, or it is somehow fundamentally wrong to view forces this way in torque problems?
Regardless of what physics topic it is, you are always the most helpful! I always get the "Aha!" moment with your videos! Thank you so much for helping all of us!
Sir , you have explained it so well that I got the idea of What Torque And How does it Act. Thank you very much. One doubt , What do we mean by Angular Acceleration?
Wow the class was amazing, I didn't understand anything about torque in my University but now I've realized is pretty interesting and kinda easy. Ty so much
thank you so much for your dedication doing this videos, makes me perfectly understand the concept and have a good time watching the video, blessings for you, thank you!!
Respect this guy !!! Torque is fine for me now, but I need to learn about magnus effect to know about Nadal's banana Shot . Dude I respect you for what you're doing !!!
Torque is the cross product of r and F. In this algebra based course, we don't use the cross product, however, that is how it is defined. Therefore the r vector is defined as a vector from the axis of rotation to where the force is applied to the object.
Torque does not equal moment of inertia times angular acceleration. _Net_ torque easel moment of inertia times angular acceleration. Very big difference there. Also torque does not equal F x r, torque equals r x F. Cross product is not commutative.
Mr P, I wonder why we don't resolve the applied Force vector _F_ instead of the position vector _r_ . I learned that the cross (vector) product between any two vectors, say _A_ and _B_ , equals *|| **_A_** || . || **_B_** || sin(angle between **_A_** & **_B_** )* . So, vector _F_ cross vector _r_ equals *|| **_F_** || . || **_r_** || sin(theta2 OR theta1)* . We deliberately take sin(theta2 OR theta1) with || _r_ || to get the magnitude of a component of vector _r_ that is perpendicular to vector _F_ (aka, moment arm) , but why we don't take sin(theta2 OR theta1) with || _F_ || to get the magnitude of a component of vector _F_ that is perpendicular to vector _r_ instead ?? For me, resolving the force vector makes much more sense about how torque works than resolving the displacement vector (I have never encountered a situation in which I had to resolve a position vector in Physics). Maths is the same in both cases, it is the intuition that matters. You are a remarkable teacher. " _Teachers who make Physics boring are criminals_ ", *THANKS FOR NOT BEING A ONE.* Gigantic Love from Egypt. *_DFTBA!_*
Technically torque is the cross product of *r* and *F* . Because this is for an algebra based course, we don't use the cross product. Realize the cross product of *r* and *F* is _not_ the same as the cross product of *F* and *r* , which is why we resolve *r* and not *F* . You can see my in-class lecture video on it here. th-cam.com/video/Qe7nVHN9zzo/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your kind words, by the way.
Hi, just one question. Does the object have to rotate from its center of mass? for example, on a plane I'm pretty sure the lift force means that the plane never actually rotates on the center of mass, theres a separate center of rotation. Would you find this by finding where the net torque equals 0?
Sir some thing is confusing me As you said that torque is the force which is applied on a bound body, then how that force can be equal to r and that force
THANKS SIR I WAS NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT EXAMPLE OF DOOR COZ DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE AOR AND TRY MANY TIMES TO RELATE BY MATHEMATICAL EQUATION . THANKS !! 😍
Sir if the angle between moment arm and force is 270° then what will be the torque? As sin270=-1.The magnitude of torque becomes negative.What does it mean?
The right hand rule determines the direction of torque, not the positive or negative value you get from sinθ. See: www.flippingphysics.com/torque-right-hand-rule.html

Also torque does not equal F x r, torque equals r x F. Cross product is not commutative.
